Adi Granov caught my attention when he was a guest artist on Iron Man for a storyline called "Extremis". Adi's art style is simply amazing. Very dramatic almost "Cinematic" in its layout, design and over all rendering. There was no question in my mind that Adi's approach to art was probably very time consuming and as the exerpt from an interview I posted below explains, there is a lot that goes into every panel of every page.
John Voulieris: Describe your art process?
Adi Granov: It’s a combination of all the things I have learned along the way through school and work. It’s a blend of very traditional, real media, painting and digital coloring. All of the work is initially done in grayscale on paper with pencils and inks. This is where all design, layout and values are resolved and established. Then I scan the pages and color them in photoshop using a method mimicking airbrushing with transparent paints. And lastly I add all of the highlights, little details and special effects (such as smoke or glow) in order to make the image “pop”. It’s a laborious but fairly straightforward process.
